Now to Him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of the Lord Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of all the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith- to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen. Romans 16: 25-27. The authenticity of this closing doxology is questioned by some on the grounds of its length, its emphasis on mystery, and its textual history. There is, however, a certain appropriateness about its length, coming at the end of a letter like Romans. Its themes draw to a fitting conclusion much that has already been said. In particular, Paul draws attention to his own teaching of the gospel and its power to edify, to the revelation of God’s mystery, to the faith and obedience among nations, and to the wisdom of God in redemption. Today we conclude our walk through the Book of Romans, I pray these daily devotional post have encouraged, strengthened, and help start your day off on a positive foot. I will begin in a new book tomorrow… Have a blessed day!
